The suggested format is that this is a discussion thread about the places along the route, links allowed in moderation, any food mentioned is vegan. Sort of like a treasure hunt for information, yet no teams, people sharing what they find.

Tommy Cooper..
"I was swimming along underwater, and I saw a man, dressed in a suit, with a bowler hat on, walking along the seabed"
I held up a piece of paper which said
"What are you doing there"?
And he held up one that said
"I'm drowning".

Anyway, I'm back smile

We are still in Rothenburg, looking around to find anything else of interest.

Rothenburg is a beautified old town. Enjoy your visit.

Mine is a jumping around one.
Just to fill in a few details about Rothenburg, though, and only a few minutes long.

StarDreamer Wed 20-Jul-22 18:48:12

That is very good, thank you.

This morning we are travelling on Der weiße Schwan overland to return to Der Goldene Delfin, which is moored at Würzburg.

Der Goldene Delfin will remain moored at Würzburg, as, after a while aboard, we are due to travel overland on Der weiße Schwan to visit Ochsenfurt.

We are getting onto Der weiße Schwan and we are travelling overland from Würzburg,to Ochsenfurt.

This is a very nice and interesting thread StarDreamer I have enjoyed the links very much.I can’t have a holiday this year so this virtual one is just what I needed.

StarDreamer Wed 27-Jul-22 09:38:24

Thank you, Prentice.

Having returned to Würzburg on Der weiße Schwan from our overland trip to Ochsenfurt, we are aboard Der Goldene Delfin as she proceeds along the river Main.

Soon we will pass Ochsenfurt and then proceed along the river Main to Kitzingen.

You are some distance from the sea MissA.
Hope you are ok ? and able to enjoy the river cruise ?.
My vote is always the middle Rhine. It’s really quite stunning.
